Current organic certificates are required for all Organic Ingredients used in your products. Any new suppliers must be approved by the PACS Certification Committee prior to use as an ingredient by submitting organic certification documents, and corresponding equivalency documentation (if applicable) for review.
PACS requires a copy of your suppliers’ organic certificates on-file, and you must also keep records on-site as the Verification Officer will inspect these documents during your inspection to ensure they are current and correspond to the date(s) of ingredient shipments.
If there are any Non-organic ingredients used in your product, a Non-Organic Ingredient (NOI) form is required to ensure the product complies with COR standards.
